Dennis Hobson column: Our lads will be back on the big stage

Liam Cameron and Zac Dunn

Dennis Hobson

Liam Cameron seemed doggedly defensive and a little unambitious against Zac Dunn having gone all the way to Australia to compete for the Commonwealth title- what did you make of the performances and of his tactics?

Liam went into the lion’s den, taking on a big puncher and he did so in front of a highly partisan crown in Melbourne.

He exposed Dunn at times but ultimately wasn’t ambitious enough to bring home the Commonwealth title.

His stock has certainly gone up though and the Aussies would like to see him back there.

Sam Sheedy appeared to take too long before really going after Tommy Langford - yet he finished the stronger of the two fighters. What did you make of that bout?

Sam was slated as a seven-to-one underdog with the bookmakers and I think he stole the show but not the belt.

Tommy Langford v Sam Sheedy

It was a new experience doing 12 rounds and maybe Sam showboated a little too much when he could have gone to work more and he would have cemented the decision.

It was very close but again his stock has flown up higher than ever.

I think the American market may like a look at Sam, so let’s see what we can do.
